Shiley (PCF) Pediatric Tracheostomy Tubes, with TaperGuard Cuff

Simple & Smart design advances inspired by you

• Flange distinction for neonatal or paediatric patients
• Comfort recess on the bottom of the connector to help reduce inferior stoma irritation
• A unique paediatric cuff design
• TaperGuard cuff technology may reduce removal force
• Transparent soft flange that supports patient comfort and visualization of the skin below

TaperGuard™ Cuff Technology - To help you manage your ventilator-dependent patients 

The low-profile, low-pressure TaperGuard cuff:

• Reduces fluid leakage by an average of >94.8% at similar or lower intracuff pressure
• Significantly improves management of airway leak at pressures below 25 cm H2O³
• Reduces removal force by 58.3% compared to the previous barrel-shaped cuff — reducing the potential for stoma irritation or damage during removal

DEHP-Free

• Shiley tracheostomy solutions meet the latest safety standards*, offering tubes that are manufactured with a non-phthalate citric-based plasticizer material.

• The Shiley tube's clear flange allows for enhanced visualization of the underlying skin and stoma site.

Varying flange angles

• Shiley tracheostomy solutions are manufactured with varying flange angles to help provide a better fit for infants and children as they grow.

• Shiley tracheostomy tubes include a comfort recess designed to help reduce pressure on the patient’s skin.

Tape tie recess

• The flange on a Shiley tracheostomy tube includes a recess to make insertion of a tape tie or tracheostomy tube holder simple and to reduce contact with the patient's skin.

Child-safe pilot balloon

• Includes plastic housing around the tip of the inflation lumen that prevents the ability of placing the inflation lumen into the 15 mm connector of the tracheostomy tube, which could obstruct airflow.
